Statcare Urgent Care has a much shorter wait time compared to a local Long Island, Queens, Bronx, or Brooklyn emergency room visit. Statcare Urgent Care has a lower cost (co-pay, deductible and actual bill) than any Long Island, Queens, Bronx, or Brooklyn pediatric ER visit. That’s big savings for those without insurance.

Statcare's walk in clinic is designed be a warm and welcoming place for you and your child. Our staff is experienced in taking care of sick children and will ensure that your child's visit is as pleasant as possible. Each member of our team has a passion for caring for children – a commitment that has made us a "Mom Approved" choice for urgent care.

Getting you in, treating your child in the most efficient manner, and providing exceptional pediatric urgent medical care so you can get out in a reasonable amount of time is our goal at Statcare.

Statcare will communicate the treatment your child receives at our urgent care walk in clinic to your child's pediatrician, to help ensure that they get appropriate follow-up care in your pediatrician's office.

Note: Statcare is not the place for “routine” pediatric medical care. Statcare does not replace or substitute your child's need for being seen by a pediatrician on an ongoing and regular basis for continuity of care.

These are corporate pediatric urgent care centers. They are open only in the PM and the range of services they provide is less than what Statcare provides. Statcare is a small business local to Long Island, Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn and serves the communities in Nassau and Suffolk. At Statcare, prompt personal attention is what you can count on because you and your child are our priority!

Statcare is not an emergency room. An urgent care facility like Statcare is a good alternative because no child should have to be taken to an ER unless it's a life-threatening emergency. As a parent, you need to consider the following:

Most hospital ERs are geared ONLY for the sickest of patients. The less sick will just have to wait in line.

Most hospital emergency rooms are “general purpose” ERs. There are only a handful of Long Island and Queens (Nassau or Suffolk County) hospitals that have a dedicated pediatric emergency care department. The rest of the hospital ERs treat adults and children both in no particular preferential order. They may have a separate pediatric triage area or a designated “pediatric urgent care” area. It's purely geographical.

Your child will be exposed to sick patients of all ages that are in the ER that day. Children tend to touch everything and are particularly prone to picking up new germs like MRSA.

Unless you reach the ER in an ambulance, you will have to park in an open parking lot some distance from the facility or park in a metered multi-story garage. These are small but significant inconveniences.

Imagine walking the distance from the parking lot while still carrying your sick child in your arms, not to mention in rain, snow, or inclement weather.

Under most health insurance plans, the ER co-pay is very high, usually in the $100-150 range.

If you don't have insurance, the average cost of an ER visit will be $1000-1400 for the Long Island area.

Hospital-based ERs will provide a separate “pediatric urgent care” area. Don't be fooled. The bills are still generated as a hospital ER visit and your ER co-pay will apply – not your urgent care co-pay that is listed on your card. If you have a deductible, all that money will come out of your pocket. Remember, all hospital-based pediatric urgent care facilities use the same registration system and billing system as the one they use for hospitalized patients.

In a hospital pediatric emergency care center, you will just be another number after the triage is done. You will remain a low priority as long as sicker people are continuously being brought in via ambulances. At Statcare, your child will be seen by emergency care providers that would attend to your child if you went to a local area emergency room in Long Island or Queens.

Pediatricians, family physicians, and emergency medicine physicians all agree that most pediatric illnesses and injuries don't require the extensive services of a pediatric emergency care facility. Even your health insurance plan would rather you go to an urgent care center. Visit their website to learn more. Note: Statcare is NOT a substitute for the ER if that is what your child needs.

If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions, take him or her to the nearest ER:

Infants less than 90 days old with a fever greater than 100.4 rectally

Poisoning

Seizures

Severe bleeding

Severe broken bones

Severe burns

Head trauma with loss of consciousness

Lethargy

Head trauma with more than 3 episodes of vomiting

You live in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Nassau County or Suffolk County of Long Island and have an injured child (fracture/dislocation that needs X-rays or a cut that needs stitches) but

The injuries are not life-threatening

You don't think it's enough of an emergency to go to a Long Island emergency room

You have been to a pediatric emergency room on a previous occasion and realized that the triage system may not prioritize your child because they aren't that sick for an ER visit
